Usually a dreaded birthday for most 39-year-olds, 40 is the big one. You may have suggested a party, birthday gathering with family or perhaps a summer barbecue – all of which have been promptly turned down by the soon-to-be 40-year old!

With an overflowing choice of birthday options it can prove to be a severe headache finding that perfect birthday gift. Unless you truly know your recipient it is tough to find a birthday present that suits the tastes and desires of your beneficiary.

Finding new gift ideas every birthday and every other major event can prove an incredibly trying task. You need to find something that every recipient will appreciate, which in some cases can mean buying gifts for people that seem to have everything.
